As death nears, many families are faced with some tough decisions regarding end of life planning. Having a supportive professional available to listen and answer questions helps many to ease the burdens they are faced with, develop new coping skills, reduce stress and regain a sense of peace in the household.

After one of our clients passes, the need for emotional support often continues for the family. Salus Homecare of Orange County’s hospice social workers and bereavement counselors remain available to provide comfort, opportunities to reminisce and a chance for healing. This extended support is appreciated by many of our clients and part of the reason they choose to use our services.

Our family has utilized Salus Homecare for the past 4 plus years. My initial contact was with a Salus Case Manager. She was so knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. The exact type of person I needed when navigating care for our 92 year old mom. Our caregiver went above and beyond not only to assist our mom but to help me with things I needed done in the home. I highly recommended Salus for your homecare needs.
